Dwelling, if it be attributed to the chiefest Inhabitant §3and Owner of the House, it implies also the ruling and ordering of the occasions that come under hand there, the exercising of the Government of the house and family where the Owner is, and dwells. He that lodgeth at a House as a stranger, comes to an Inn as a Passenger, he takes what he finds, hath what he can receive of kindness and courtesy; but the Owner is the Commander of the House where he dwells, and the orderer of all the Affairs that appertain thereunto. So doth the Lord with a broken Heart. Thus we are said to live in the Spirit, and to walk in the Spirit, Gal. 5. 25. And it's that which follows by Inference upon this ground, John 15. 4. 5. If I abide in you, and you abide in me, you shall bring forth much fruit; and therefore its added also in this place, that the Lord dwells in the contrite and humble heart to receive the Spirit of the contrite ones, they yield themselves to be acted by him, and they shall be acted and quickened by him to Eternal Life.
